US Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain (R) applauds as US Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama (L) speaks at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. The pitched battle for the White House briefly made way for good humor and a good cause Thursday as Obama and John McCain traded jibes at a white-tie charity dinner in New York.
United States Presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain reacts after taking a sip of Cuban expresso during a campaign visit in Miami in January 2008. No longer is the struggle against communism in Cuba the main issue in Little Havana as Cuban Americans worry about the US economy slowing down, their retirement funds evaporating, and jobs being harder to come by.
Supporters of Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., are dressed as Joe the Plumber as they stand outside the Roanoke Civic Center where a rally for Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., takes place in Roanoke, Va., Friday, Oct. 17, 2008.

WOW trying to find that video of McCain was quite a hunt for me - as if he hadn’t spoken at all... I thought he did an outstanding job.
The internet was filled with Obama at Al Smith Dinner trounces McCain blah blah blah....bias anyone?
Anyway am repeating the video addys in case they are upcut from previous posting...

Awesome pictures - thanks for posting them!!
I am taking a plunger on Saturday. I’ll see if Sarah can sign it!
Cardinal Egan, silently signaling to McCain:
John, don't shake that man's hand. He
attended an anti-Catholic Marxist Black
Liberation "church" for over twenty years.
Plus he not only supports partial birth abortion,
but also killing babies who somehow managed
to survive standard abortion procedures.
John, Katie just gave me a finger swipe!
I have been very critical of McCain in all three debates. He blew Obama out of the water last night, he hammered him and was three times as gracious doing it.
Obama’s jokes about the economy were at best in very poor taste. I noticed he did not even touch Acorn, Wright or Ayers; what a chicken shi*. I’ll bet Chavez, Putin et al can’t wait for an Obama administration.
white-tie charity dinner? why not black tie? that's racist
Google is filled with Obama links today - like McCain was some kind of prop for the guy....
Amazing!
Excellent! Talk about the obvious!!
"I'm taller, you should really let me lead..."
Off topic a little but I took a nap a little while ago and I dreamed about plungers! I dreamed that the toilet was running over and I was running from one bathroom to the next trying to find the plunger. I have got to stop worrying about politics!
Awesome pic....let's hope there's a groundswell movement happening...
"I now pronounce you...Wait: is this the Fitzpatrick/Fitzgerald wedding?"
"THOUGH he's battling GOP accusations that he's an Ivy League elitist, Barack Obama has a lifestyle of the rich and famous, like TV show host Robin Leach, who always signed off, "Champagne wishes and caviar dreams!" While he was at a meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Michelle Obama called room service and ordered lobster hors d'oeuvres, two whole steamed lobsters, Iranian caviar and champagne, a tipster told Page Six."
And last night he stood in white tie dress, at a swanky affair, and had the audacity to speak about all the poor people in NY City.
